Mike De La Vega
Jose is just the most amazing artist, and even more so because his creations are completely organic. He doesn't use fancy technology. He simply has the ability to transpose his imagination to a carving with his hands, and that talent is so incredible! Of all other artists, it's Jose C. de Braga who inspires Mike the most. He is an artisan above all others and his mastery of the craft is to be envied and respected for generations. At Zeist, we fully believe that one day we will see his designs in museums for all to admire!
As a kid, Mike loved watching movies. Nothing thrilled him more than the awesome props like the swords, knives, and other weaponry that would appear on screen! Years later, as an adult with an artistic and creative mind, it was only natural to combine this love in his craft. After studying under Michael Bell of Dragonfly Forge, Lee Oats, and a lot of trial-and-error refining his process along the way, he pours all of his inspiration into what he designs and builds. Today, he's the owner, creator and builder behind both Zeist Armories and 3rd Coast Props. The person who's been the most inspirational to Mike is Jose C. de Braga.
